ESP32 DMA will hold TFT_CS low automatically.
STM32 will not do this and requires bracketing DMA transfers with startWrite and endWrite as in examples.
Add ILI9225 support
Add viewport feature to Sprites
Rationalise common TFT_eSPI and Sprite functions and variables to use inherited functions width(), height(), rotation(), write(), pivot, cursor, swapBytes.
Simplified driver ST7789_2_DRIVER not supports 135 x 240 display.
This will not fix#763 since user specifies alternative ST7789_DRIVER which already supports 135x240 displays.
The SSD1963 support has been tested with a 480x800 pixel display from Buy Display.
Support for reading an ST7796 SPI display has been added.
pushToSprite added to keywords list.
#740: To avoid ambiguity the pushSprite for writing a sprite to another sprite has been renamed pushToSprite
#704: Change to 18 bit colurs for SSD1963 with SPI interface
Remove outdated TFT_SPIFFS_Jpeg example
Fix issue when using ESP32 & using multiple TFT displays & not defining TFT_CS.
Note: Future support for multiple displays in all possible hardware combinations may not be practical.
New function added:
bool created(void);
to check if sprite has been rotated. Example:
if ( !spr.created() ) Serial.println("Sprite has not been created");
TFT_eFEX also needs updating so Rotated_Sprite_3 example renders correctly.
pushImage for FLASH images updated so partly off-screen images are correctly rendered.
Read_User_Setup updated to be compatible with STM32 and new structure format.
Reduction in compiler warnings
Update Sprite destructor
Update version to 2.2.1
Boost performance for ILI9488 display with STM32 processors.
Enable smooth fonts in setup files (smooth fonts for STM32 processors is now supported with fonts in program memory)
Typical use to disable use of PSRAM for the sprite storage:
sprite.setAttribute(PSRAM_ENABLE, false); // true to enable
Minor update for recent button class update
Added 24 bit colour handling alphaBlend to reduce precision loss in multiple blend stages (e.g. in 2D colour gradients). Added option for alpha dither to reduce colour banding in gradients with 16 bit colours.
Get rid of compile warnings.
The library has been cleaned up as it has got a bit untidy due to the large number of small incremental changes.
4bit Sprite examples renaed to be consistent with others.
alphaBlend example moved to generic folder (alphaBlend fn was moved to TFT_eSPI class).
Added sections + explanatory comments to functions prototypes.
Temporary comments added for potential gotchas for noobs when using DMA.
spi_begin/end functions renamed to reflect functionality. Old fns retained for backwards compatibility with user setup.h files.
The s60sc Adafruit_Touch library fork for the ESP32 parallel mode uses the TFT_WR pin as an analogue input to read the screen resistance. The TFT_eSPI library kept TFT_CS low permanently for performance reasons, but when used with the touch library a low analogue value on the TFT_WR pin will write spurious data to the display.
This change toggle TFT_CS so it is only low during TFT parallel bus writes. The performance reduction is small.
Callback allows anitaliased fonts to be rendered over colour gradients
or images.
"Smooth_font_reading_TFT" example added
"Smooth_font_gradient" example added
Minor changes to avoid signed/unsigned comparison warnings.
Images/sprites overlapping both sides of the display were not correctly
cropped.
Option added to allow RGB<>BGR colourr swap option to be used.
ESP8266 Wemos D1 R1 pin numbering difference accomodated.
TTGO T4 setup changed to use HSPI port.
Added SD card storage for smooth fonts with ESP32
ESP32 will use PSRAM (if available and enabled) to hold smooth font
metrics
Improve performance of ESP32 Sprite shared functions
Add basic ST7789 driver option
Latent bug fixes for pin mask
The touch screen handler was broken for the ESP8266 only. The library
uses SPI write only configuration for ESP8266 so the SPI buffer can be
recycled and it was left in write only mode. The library now switches
back to read & write mode at the end of a transaction.
Adafruit_GFX font support extended to Unidode Basic Multilingual Plane
Print stream deocdes UTF-8
Smooth font ascent and descent (affects line spacing) changed to rely on
metrics provided by Processing IDE (issue #303)
Bug fix for font rendering with no background on RLE native fonts
There is a bug in the ESP8266 Arduino core that averwrites the overlap
mode setup and hold bits for the hardware driven SPI SS line. The
TFT_eSPI library has been patched as a work-around.
In overlap mode to maintain the required setup and hold times at 80MHz
ESP8266 CPU clock the SPI rate must be 27MHz or less. At 160MHz CPU
clock the SPI rate can be 40MHz.
